Principal Electrical Design Engineer - Analog/Digital/Power Electronics

Work directly for our Long Island NY based client

Summary - Electrical Engineer

Experienced in developing devices with active / passive signal converter & conditioning circuits and switching power control / driver circuits implemented in either multi-chip & wire hybrid or SMT CCA form factors.

Job Duties:

This requires a mastery of analog / mixed signal analysis and design to meet demanding device specifications and to lead an interdisciplinary Engineering staff through the phases of product life cycle development from requirements architecture and detailed design through to device verification qualification and the transition to manufacturing production & support. These product lines require continuous obsolescence review and at times may need redesign to support our military & aerospace customers.

-Develop clear requirements and specs from marketing / customer documents.
-Provide early customer interaction to guide requirements toward more realizable product.
-Distill large-scale designs down to their architectural elements and develop unique innovative analog and digital hardware design solutions. Consider & pursue patent application for differentiators that will help secure competitive advantage.
-Generate reports and present findings to the team throughout the review process. Facilitate DFM by coordinating teams of varied technical disciplines through a clearly defined design -ordinate technical reviews with other groups.
-Develop creative approaches that favorably optimize complex design tradeoffs for product cost performance feature set time to market and technical risk. Anticipate potential difficulties and develop alternative plans.
-Manage support and verification activities (thermal electrical stress worst-case FMEA tolerance aging and EMI analyses performance simulations and design verification) to ensure meeting all environmental requirements for the application.
-Develop project plans budgets schedules and identify the resources to progress from market requirement through product release. Identify risks and develop contingency plans to mitigate schedule / technical threats to the program.
-Contribute technical input as well as material and labor cost estimates in support of winning tactical business opportunities and proposals.
-Mentor coach and train engineers to facilitate greater levels of technical and professional achievement.
-Support legacy product lines and resolve new product issues as they arise.
-Work across departments to lead vendor or engineering outsource selection decisions based on technical performance risk and cost tradeoffs.
-Take the initiative to investigate and propose new method process technique tool component or technology improvements for quality timeliness and efficiency.
-Conduct in-depth technical interviews and make hiring recommendations for capable and talented technical staff to grow an effective Engineering team.

Qualifications:

-Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering; Graduate Engineering degree a plus.
-Deep bench of Analog Circuit design experience in multiple A to D architectures (multiple pass SAR Flash Sigma Delta Pipeline) and D to A (serial DACs R2R current steering charge scaling). Experience should cover low noise and high dynamic range techniques sample acquisition and hold circuits Bandgap reference Oscillators Op-amps Switched Capacitor Circuits Active Filters single ended & differential circuits phase / frequency control loops and stability analysis. Comfort with working in both time & frequency domains.
-Experience in power electronics / power management (Buck/Boost LDO Charge Pump Inverters using MOSFET IGBT SiC and GaN Power devices.
-Analog / mixed signal ASIC design and verification using Cadence or Tanner tool suites.
-Experience with space-level radiation hardened design rad lot testing ionizing radiation single event upset and total dose analysis regarding component selection.
-Sensors including LVDT Synchro / Resolvers and Encoders.
-Control theory and Matrix mathematics including Z domain transform for digital control; Experience with Motor control simulation
-Clark and Park transform theory
-High level understanding of thermal electrical stress worst case FMEA tolerance aging and design for low EMI.
-Experience with CAD tools such as LT-Spice P-Spice OrCAD Allegro and Pantheon.
-Candidate must be a US Citizen Permanent Resident or Green Card Holder due to Export control laws.
